Aidan - meh
Damian - very cool
Gabriel - eugh

Lweji · 29/09/2016 22:30

Actually, I think I'd wait until he's born and see what I felt suited him best.

Ohdofuckoffplease · 30/09/2016 08:24

Gabriel is my favourite!

MrsCaecilius · 30/09/2016 09:46

Aidan - naughty boy
Damian - Omen (film) son of the devil, I've never seen the film but still associate the name with evil!
Gabriel - lovely. The Gabriel I know is Gabe to his friends which is really nice.

  1. Aidan
  2. Gabriel
  1. Damian- really don't like it.

Gabriel by a mile

Loyly · 30/09/2016 12:21

Gabriel. I really dislike the others, sorry.

TempsPerdu · 30/09/2016 12:22

Definitely Gabriel for me as it happens to be my favourite boy's name.

Aidan's OK but uninspiring, and I can't get over The Omen association with Damian (even though I'm another one who's never actually seen the film!)

Ilikegin · 30/09/2016 12:28

Gabriel for me too! Love love love it! gabe is a lovely nn!

BabyGirl10 · 30/09/2016 12:30

Aidan

strawberrypenguin · 30/09/2016 12:31

Gabriel would be my pick of those three. Although I'd wait and see what he 'looks' like. Neither of mine have been given what we previously had marked as our top name as they didn't suit it!

Biscuitsneeded · 30/09/2016 12:33

Gabriel by a country mile. I'm afraid I dislike the other two.

ProseccoBitch · 30/09/2016 12:38

Damian still makes me think of The Ome, and you run the risk of people calling him 'Damo' [shudders]

ProseccoBitch · 30/09/2016 12:38

The Omen!*

Thanks all, looks like Gabriel is winning so far! Though DS1 (4) is decidedly unimpressed by anything other than Thomas, James or Henry (bit of a train fan). Grin

Maybe you could do a train merge name like Jhomas or Themry Grin

Aiden then Gabriel.

Damien is the Omen to me as pp said so not my cuppa x

SpecialStains · 30/09/2016 12:52

I know a lovely and clever 5yr old Aidan, so that'd be my pick.

TheWrathFromHighAtopTheThing · 30/09/2016 12:54

I like Damian, but you'll get the Omen thing, so I'd go for Damon instead.

ImperialBlether · 30/09/2016 12:56

I love Gabriel but really dislike the other two.

mouldycheesefan · 30/09/2016 12:58

Not Damian😂😂😂 although I do love the only fools and horses episode whee del blu names the baby Damian and the omen music starts up! 😂😂

auntym · 30/09/2016 12:59

Gabriel (nn Gabe) love it!
Not keen on the others..

PointlessUsername · 30/09/2016 13:02

Gabriel by Far.

chinlo · 30/09/2016 13:52

I don't understand the Gabriel love. Seems like such a weak name to me. Confused

But it's out of the list of three that the op gave. Gabriel being the best of the three.
